In 2009 Brett formed his own group, Magic Mountain Band who released their debut EP, Over an Ocean Away, in early 2010. The compositions from this first offering went on to be widely used in short films, television and documentaries, while the band has become a must-see live act in Melbourne.
In Feb 2014, Magic Mountain Band released their long-awaited debut album WILDERMAN to critical acclaim. Since then, the band has sold out multiple shows around Melbourne and gathered considerable support both nationally and internationally, culminating in their recent invitation to support American drone rock legends Earth on their recent Australian tour.
